Daily Updates

This week, PCA sent 150 boxes to Community Christian School in Orange, TX to preserve their books until a new library can be built. PCA continues to partner with Prestonwood Baptist Church and Grace Bridge to collect supply donations for those affected by Hurricane Harvey.

As one of the effects of Hurricane Harvey hitting Houston, we are aware of the gas shortage in the DFW area. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep our families informed of any potential impacts to PCA. Please continue to check our website and social media for updates.

Hurricane Harvey, now Tropical Storm Harvey, caused unprecedented flooding in Houston, surrounding region and the Texas eastern coastline leaving catastrophic destruction in its path. Approximately 13,000 people have been rescued and an estimated 30,000 were displaced. Many of you have friends and loved ones in the affected area, and we are continuing in prayer for them. We are praying for the all victims of this disaster, first responders and volunteers.

Join us as we rally around our fellow Texans this Friday night, September 1, as the PCA Lions take on Ft. Worth All Saints at Lions Stadium. We will continue our relief efforts by collecting emergency supplies - blankets, toiletries and hygiene products, and baby items (diapers, wipes, formula and bottles) Friday night. Please bring your donations to the designated tent located near the entrance to the stadium.

Also, during the second quarter we will "pass the buckets" to provide everyone an opportunity to donate financial support that will be used to assist in meeting the needs that continue to grow daily.

Please continue to pray for those in South Texas that have been affected.
